Using a Wave Phone
You can pick up a Wave phone and place a call in the same way that you place calls on other
phones. But you can also do much more. For example, you can dial other Wave users by name
and use special key combinations to redial your last call or call back your last caller. Depending
on your Wave system, you can also place calls over Centrex lines or over the Internet.
This section explains the following aspects of placing calls on a Wave phone:
•
Using the Speaker to make and answer calls
•
Adjusting the Handset and Speaker Volume
•
Obtain Information for Your Phone
•
Using phones other than your own (another user’s phone)
•
Dialing internal and external numbers
•
Dialing by name
•
Using the Hold feature (placing calls on hold to answer and switch between
other calls, etc.)
•
Making a call using the * options (redialing the last number you called, returning
the last call that arrived
•
Disabling call waiting for a call
•
Using the Page and/or Intercom features
Hint:
